"From the days of hand typeset letterpress printed broadsides against slavery to the Occupy movement protests and beyond, people have used ink and paper to speak out for peace and justice.
The poster continues to inspire and motivate masses of people as it has for centuries. We now have the luxury of viewing these images on a computer, tablet or mobile phone screen through internet access. But the poster that hangs on the wall or refrigerator continues to be an effective, efficient emblem of the cause it represents."  Posters for Peace & Justice
